A locals guide to the best palces to drink in Elwood.

Cosy bars and wine dens with outdoor seating are popping up all over the place in Elwood village, transforming tired old buildings and turning this quiet little strip into a busy night time hub.

In the past year, this little bay side town has got its food and wine groove, but the key to hospitality is people, and Elwood is attracting some rippers. Take Nic Gordon and Sebastian McQuarrie co-owners of the Blue Tongue Wine Bar, a boutique newly renovated venue wowing locals and tourists alike, situated on Ormond Road.

Both Nic and Sebastian take pride in seeking out the best local produce, wine, craft beer and drinks to supply the Elwood area. We rank him as one of Melbourne's best!

So take bay side journey down beach road and check it out for yourself!
